About
Francis Chee Shuen Lee is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, biomedical engineering, and traditional medicine diagnostics. His work centers on developing tactile sensing technologies that replicate and enhance the ancient practice of pulse palpation, bridging millennia-old diagnostic techniques with modern robotic systems. Lee’s major contributions include the creation of a pulse-sensing robotic hand capable of tactile arterial palpation, a breakthrough that enables precise, non-invasive measurement of arterial pulse patterns. His 2016 paper on this topic has garnered 12 citations, while his more recent 2022 study on sphygmopalpation—which identified fundamental arterial pulse patterns using tactile robotic fingers—has earned 11 citations. Notably, Lee’s research validates and expands upon the 28 fundamental pulse patterns recognized in traditional Chinese medicine, demonstrating how robotic systems can objectively quantify these subtle diagnostic cues. His work not only advances medical robotics but also offers a novel approach to early disease detection through automated pulse analysis. By fusing ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology, Lee is redefining how we understand and apply tactile diagnostics in modern healthcare.
